- colin cLiverpool, United Kingdom50 contributionsWell worthAs a connoisseur of churches and cathedrals worldwide although not the most spectacular, biggest, most expensively decorated, it is very beautiful and interesting. Is development and history is extended and long used. Christmas a great time to visit, Nativity et ceteraVisited December 2022Written January 18, 2023
- Rachel P7 contributionsLovely calm spaceThe interior is beautiful - graceful arches and all slender columns. Was expecting the usual rather garish interior of Catholic churches in Spain. Do make time to see the lovely courtyard behind and the small museum. The modern paintings of the stations of the cross are most moving.Visited January 2023Written January 31, 2023
- wendyanddavid536Solihull, United Kingdom2,211 contributionsAbsolutely Beautiful!A relatively small cathedral, austere on the outside being constructed of almost black basalt, the interior is an absolute delight. Very muted compared to most Spanish churches, and all the better for that. Very early 16th century, it is light and airy with stunning columns and ceiling, and lovely stained glass windows that cast rainbow light on various parts of the church. When we were there early on a Sunday morning, an elderly gentleman was playing the organ and quietly singing - truly divine!Visited January 2023Written February 8, 2023
- Prospero555Brighton, United Kingdom169 contributionsGreat views from the top of the towerThis is not a very ornate or massive cathedral but is peaceful and calming inside. It has a little garden in the courtyard, a fountain and a mechanical rattle! However the best part is the opportunity to get to the top of the tower and be rewarded with excellent views of the city. There is a lift so avoid climbing stairs. They charge 2 euros for the lift.Visited March 2023Written March 6, 2023

This was such a beautiful cathedral! There is a museum part as well as the cathedral itself. The tickets are very cheap to enter with and there is a gift shop where I bought some postcards of some of the art they had on display. I would really recommend a walk around here.

Absolutely wrong to charge to enter the main Cathedral! We were charged €3 each just to enter. I can see why the Vatican's wealth is put at between $10 billion to $15 billion. Disgusting! Shame on you! Taking from the poor as usual!

This Cathedral is Roman Catholic and was built in the 1500’s. It was the original Cathedral in the Canary Islands. The Gothic Pointed architectural style dominates the structure. The various naves are quite impressive, but the stain glass windows need a bit of help.
The entrance to the church is actually on a side street and going up the tower is at the front of the street. If you have a hop on hop off ticket, going up the tower is free, otherwise a few euros would do. A lift and a few stairs will take you to some impressive views of the area.
The three euro charge to go into the church and museum is worth the time, money and effort. My favorite part was the impressive courtyard area.
The museum is actually on an upper floor. Artifacts, paintings and church related items are on display. Photographs are allowed.
Maybe not as impressive as other churches in Spain, but nonetheless, there is a spiritual energy that resonates from this holy place.

For 6 euros (or 4 for senior citizens 65 and above with proof of age), a combined ticket gets you into the Santa Ana Cathedral as well as the adjacent Diocesan Museum of Sacred Art. The cathedral is pleasantly surprising for its size in not being excessively ornamental or dripping in gold, with the side isles of equal height to the nave, thus enhancing the sense of spaciousness. While the usual elaborate stained glass windows pictorailizing the deeds of saints are there, it is the plainer windows of circular coloured glass of the clerestory and cimborium that are magical when they cast patches of rainbow hues on the piers by trapping the sunlight from high above. The Diocesan Museum of Sacred Art has the usual assortment of religious relics and dark sombre paintings of Madonna and child in all possible guises and permutations. But it is the semi abstract drawings of Jesus Arencibia that are truly eye-catching. In a few deft strokes with charcoal and ink, he captures emotionally affecting scenarios of Jesus being nailed to the cross or on the sepulchre without losing any element of religiosity. We strongly recommend that you spend time in the chamber with Arencibia's artworks. Another curious painting is that by Fernandez de la Torre of "Jesus among the Doctors of the Law", where Jesus is depicted in a way totally unlike his prototypic image. Here he appears as lithe and willowy as a svelte supermodel with a crown of blonde hair, or alternatively like an embodiment of a carnival drag queen if one is inclined to be less charitable.

Vi besøkte denne flotte katedralen i febr.2020, og da såg jeg det skulle være en flott konsert der etterat vi hadde reist hjem.jeg lurer derfor på hvor vi kan finne ut av når der er konserter med tanke på neste gang vi skal til Las Palmas.

Do they do mass in English ?

I did not see any notification for this when I visited. They have a complicated arrangement to put Sunday mass on the internet in several languages including English. I suggest that nearer the time you visit you should call them up because it's possible there's informal arrangements given the many visitors they have in summer
